Notebooks were to become thinner, batteries had to last more, optical drives were going away, and performance, performance didn't have to suffer too much. Moreover, manufacturers didn't seem to be doing a whole lot to get on this trend, so Intel pushed forward by investing $300 million of its own money to make it happen. The first Ultrabook specification was based on the Huron River platform using the Sandy Bridge architecture. This specification required a minimum battery life of 5 hours, a resume from hibernation time of 7 seconds, and the laptop's body could be no more than 18mm thick for 13.3” models and 21mm thick for 14” models. The use of solid-state drives and unibody chassis were also encouraged (but not part of the specification) to help meet these criteria. The more modern and current Chief River specification is based on Ivy Bridge. The battery life, resume time and dimensions remain the same, while a storage transfer rate of 80MB/s minimum has been added along with mandatory USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt support.

  • A LAWYER's GUIDE for BUYING a LAPTOP Type of Laptop Computers
    A LAWYER'S GUIDE FOR BUYING A LAPTOP If you've shopped for a laptop computer lately, you already know that it can be pretty confusing, particularly if you're looking for a Windows machine (where the options are nearly unlimited). The goal of this article is to explain what to look for, what to avoid and how to make an informed decision. I am specifically not taking sides on the Windows versus Mac PC debate and this article should be helpful regardless of which operating system you prefer. Further, the term "PC" as used herein refers to either a Windows or Mac computer. PC stands for personal computer which is defined as a computer designed for use by one person at a time. Although Apple's advertisements seem to declare that its computers are something other than PCs, they are not (all MacBooks and iMacs are PCs). This article is not going to help you find the cheapest laptop possible. If your laptop is the primary tool you use to produce work product, then it's probably the last thing you should be cutting corners on. There are many compilations of the best "budget" laptops if that's what you're looking for1. The following recommendations prioritize power, portability and reliability. Laptop configurations and models change constantly so there's no point in identifying a particular model and configuration to buy. Instead, I'm going to describe what I would look for in a new laptop (component-by-component) and endeavor to explain each part of the PC so you'll understand what you're buying.

  • BTOTS Web Mobile Hardware Recommendations
    BTOTS Web Mobile Hardware Recommendations BTOTS Web Mobile Hardware Recommendations Spring 2012 Overview – The following guidelines may help you in the selection of mobile hardware for your staff in the field. A traditional desktop computer will still be most cost effective for data entry only or office staff, but the following mobile solutions provide added flexibility for service providers working out of the office. Mobile Hardware Categories Laptop – a traditional laptop meant for full functionality while on the go. For the purpose of this discussion, we will include ultrabooks in the laptop hardware category. Ultrabooks are an attempt to provide full performance in a smaller sized and reduced weight laptop. Netbook – small, lightweight, inexpensive laptop. They use processors that require lower power (and thus have lower performance compared to a laptop). The screen is most often a widescreen format, but has limited vertical resolution, and so requires more scrolling. We don’t recommend using a netbook at this time. Consider an ultrabook for those needing more performance or an Apple iPad for those needing greater portability. Tablet – tablet computers (such as the Apple iPad) are touch‐based devices designed for portability. They generally have fewer input capabilities and focus on portability. There are other tablet computers (competitors to the iPad based on the Google Android operating system; e.g., ASUS, Samsung, Motorola, etc.), but we have seen that performance and compatibility has varied widely between brands. MDSC is not equipped to support all the various Android brands and would strongly recommend the iPad for those who wish to use a tablet solution.
